odbc_execute

    (PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    odbc_execute — Execute a prepared statement

    Description

    odbc_execute(resource$statement, array$params = []): bool

    Executes a statement prepared with odbc_prepare().

    Parameters

    statement

    The result id resource, from odbc_prepare().

    params

    Parameters in params will be substituted for placeholders in the prepared statement in order. Elements of this array will be converted to strings by calling this function.

    Any parameters in params which start and end with single quotes will be taken as the name of a file to read and send to the database server as the data for the appropriate placeholder.

    If you wish to store a string which actually begins and ends with single quotes, you must add a space or other non-single-quote character to the beginning or end of the parameter, which will prevent the parameter from being taken as a file name. If this is not an option, then you must use another mechanism to store the string, such as executing the query directly with odbc_exec()).

    Return Values

    Returns true on success or false on failure.

    Examples

    Example #1 odbc_execute() and odbc_prepare() example

    In the following code, $success will only be true if all three parameters to myproc are IN parameters:

    <?php
    $a     = 1;
    $b = 2;
    $c = 3;
    $stmt = odbc_prepare($conn, 'CALL myproc(?,?,?)');
    $success = odbc_execute($stmt, array($a, $b, $c));
    ?>

    If you need to call a stored procedure using INOUT or OUT parameters, the recommended workaround is to use a native extension for your database (for example, oci8 for Oracle).
